Five books I want to read this summer 🏖

Dear reader,

I have never been the kind of girl to love summer. As a baby I used to be terrified of water (my parents told me it was impossible to make me take a bath and that I would scream even when they went into the sea) and then I started to dislike the heat as a teenager. Eventually I started being okay with everything that made summer: the heat, the sea, mostly ice creams and more. For once I actually am excited about it and to enjoy every second of it! And to do so I obviously made myself a small TBR.

So here are five books I want to read this summer! ☀🌊🍦

---

❥ There’s Something About Sweetie by Sandhya Menon

I read When Dimple Met Rishi and From Twinkle, With Love in 2018, so it makes sense that I would want to read this one. Sandhya is one of my favourite authors to read during either spring or summer and I simply cannot wait to be sunbathing while reading There’s Something About Sweetie. I already know it’ll be sweet, funny and insanely cute.

❥ We Set the Dark on Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia

This book has been on my radar for so long, it definitely is time for me to read it. I have no idea why it would make a great summer read but I know that it must be a great time to dive into it. This book is a fantasy YA novel and as someone who reads ton of contemporaries during spring and summer I will have to get back to my favourite genre which is fantasy from time to time, so this book will be perfect for me.

❥ Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I recently read and adored The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, so it makes sense that I want to dive into this one as soon as possible. I will probably listen to it because I keep hearing how amazing the audiobook is, but I can already picture myself laying on the beach with this story in my ears and the sound of waves somewhere near. *happy sigh*

❥ The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

I just bought this book recently because I wanted to read it right before meeting Samantha at YALC, so in a few weeks. I absolutely cannot wait to dive into this one, the cover is super summery (it’s orange and it’s enough for me lol) and I know I’ll end up adoring it. Again, it’s a fantasy novel so it’ll be perfect as it is my favourite genre after all!

❥ Nocturna by Maya Motayne

And here we go for another YA fantasy novel! Just like We Set the Dark on Fire I have been waiting for this one for a long time now, so I think it’s time for me to read it. Again, the cover seems summery… Right? I honestly can’t wait to pick it up.

And that’s all for me!
